Chewton
primary school
We are a small school 5kms east of Castlemaine, Victoria. Our heritage building and stunning bush setting make our school both a welcoming and unique learning environment. Our school grounds offer a music garden, interpretative play space, outdoor stage, cubby building area, oval, playground equipment, quiet spaces and a wood-fired oven. We make use of the bush behind the school for learning activities and regular family cook ups.
Chewton Primary was recently nominated for a National Reconciliation Award and we are incredibly proud to have our Reconciliation Action Plan published by Narragunnawali. We are also the proud recipients of a 2023 ResourceSmart Schools Award for curriculum leadership.

Acknowledgement of Country
We would like to acknowledge the Djaara people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land that we live and learn on. This Land has never been ceded. We thank them for the care they have taken and continue to take of Dja Dja Wurrung Country: the rivers, mountains, trees and water. We would like to acknowledge Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in keeping Culture alive.
